False.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and whether they pass through something depends on the material and the wave frequency. Some materials (air, glass, dry wood) are fairly transparent at many radio frequencies, while conductors (metals) and certain dense or lossy materials (water, wet soil, concrete) reflect or strongly absorb them. Effects like skin depth, attenuation and shielding (e.g., Faraday cages) determine transmission.
